A Little About Me . . .

I am based out of Harleysville, PA where I live with my husband of 15 years and our two sons (ages 3 and 6 yrs.). My boys are what I like to call "spirited" . . . they keep me laughing, crying and some days crazed out of my mind . . . and I love them to pieces!

A few things about me:
I start each day with a Coke (my vice)
I have the opposite of a green thumb . . . it's more like black . . . I can kill anything!
I love to sleep but my kids are early birds and I am less than perky at 6:30am!
My guilty pleasure is M&M's . . . I eat them late at night when the kids are in bed.
I am a night owl, clients always comment about my 2am e-mails.

I am very relaxed and pride myself in my ability to remain patient, especially with little ones. I aim to capture not only beautiful images, but also the "essence" of whom ever I am photographing. I want YOU to come through in the image . . . the crooked grin, a scrunched up nose, a mischievous look. They are the quirky things we all love about our children!

My passion is newborns. Something about babies just pulls me in like nothing else . . . their smell, little rosebud lips, button noses . . . I can't get enough. I love the innocence of it all, it is a time you can never get back and to capture it is truly special.

I love to hear what you have to say so don't be shy! Leave me a comment.
